According to Le Chatelier's principle, if one of the reactants or products is removed from an equilibrium system, the equilibrium will shift in the direction that will produce more of that substance. In this case, if CH₄(g) is removed, the equilibrium will shift towards the production of more CH₄(g) and H₂O(g) to replace the removed substance. Therefore, choice B is the best answer.
